And I love how Heritage is being put on a pedestal for their fine ethical behavior! Shame they bid on their own lots and buried that info in paragraph 21 of their auction rules.

i am surprised to see the crusader for hobby transparency now advocating for withholding material information on the basis of a legal technicality.

No, I'm simply saying that an auction house which has no problem bidding on its lots (and buries this info deep in its rules) should also have no problem using the same level of ethics when dealing with and maximizing the value of the Black Swamp Find.
